The incident happened at 9 pm Thursday outside Bushiken Karate Charlotte Dojo, according to CNN affiliate WSOC and the head instructor, Randall Ephraim. "There were still some kids in the dojo being picked up by parents and a couple of adult students cleaning up when a young lady came through our doors and stated that someone was trying to harm her," he told CNN. "Shortly afterward, a big male entered the building," he said. "Not knowing what he wanted, I assumed he was inquiring about classes."

This is where a normal (er?) person would simply leave.

"I asked how I could assist him and he stated that he was there for the lady. She insisted that she did not know him and tried to kidnap her."

But no.

Ephraim said he asked the man to leave, but he stated he was not going anywhere. "He then tried to force himself further into the dojo, aggressively pushing and swinging," the instructor said. "I then went into action defending myself and got him out of the dojo. Once outside he attempted to attack again and was dealt with accordingly."

I sure hope so. :)

Then the guy continues to do something stupid.

The suspect also tried to assault police officers before he was arrested, WSOC reports.

We only have one side of two assaults; no word on the alleged perp's version of events.
